The 10 Happiest Cities to Work In

This list of the happiest cities to work in, compiled by careers site CareerBliss.com, is based on analysis of more than 20,000 independent employee reviews from 2013. Employees all over the country were asked to evaluate 10 factors that affect workplace happiness. Those include one’s relationship with the boss and co-workers, work environment, job resources, compensation, growth opportunities, company culture, company reputation, daily tasks, and control over the work done does on a daily basis. They evaluated each factor on a five-point scale and also indicated how important it was to their overall happiness. The numbers were combined to find an overall rating of employee happiness for each respondent, and then they were sorted by location to find the 10 happiest cities for employees. (Note: These aren’t considered the "best" cities to live in; they’re simply the places where workers are most content right now, according to CareerBliss data and research.)
